About
The way we manage our money can heavily impact our lives. It can come to a point that poorly-managed finances can keep you from living comfortably and achieving your goals, such as owning a car or buying a house.
College is expensive and it’s commonly known that college students don’t have loads of money to spare. College is a time where it’s extremely important to learn how to manage your personal finances. For that reason, we want to give $500 to a deserving student that understands why it’s important to manage their money and does what they can to be smart with their finances.
